व्यासशिष्योत्पत्तिवर्णन (Origins/Enumeration of Vyāsa’s Disciplic Succession) — Chapter on Vedic Transmission Lineages
पञ्चस्वेतेषु जायन्ते गोत्रेषु ब्रह्मवादिनः / यस्मादृषन्ति ब्रह्माणं ततो ब्रह्मर्षयः स्मृताः
pañcasveteṣu jāyante gotreṣu brahmavādinaḥ / yasmādṛṣanti brahmāṇaṃ tato brahmarṣayaḥ smṛtāḥ
In these five gotras are born the Brahmavādins, the proclaimers of Brahman. Because they ‘behold’ Brahmā/Brahman, they are remembered as Brahmarṣis.
